Melanie – Good King Wenceslaus (Guitar)

F               C 
On the feast of Stephen

F                  C 
Deep and crisp and even

                   Am              
Brightly shone the moon that night 

F                    C 
Though the frost was cruel

       Am       F       G            
When a poor man came in sight

C                F    C
Gathering winter fu-u-el

F                   C 
If thou knowest it, telling

F                  C 
Where and what his dwelling?"

                  Am              
"Sire, he lives a good league hence

F              C 
Underneath the mountain

       Am       F      G            
Right against a forest fence

C               F       C
By Saint Agnes' fou-oun-tain"

F                  C 
Bring me pine logs hither

F                 C 
When we bear them thither"

                  Am              
Page and monarch, forth they went

F                 C 
Forth they went together

            Am          F      G            
Through the rude wind's wild lament

C              F      C
And the bitter wea-ea-ther

F                  C 
And the wind blows stronger

F           C 
I can go no longer"

                    Am              
"Mark my footsteps, my good page

F                  C 
Tread thou in them boldly

           Am       F        G            
Thou shalt find the winter's rage

C                     F      C
Freeze thy blood less co-old-ly"

F                  C 
Where the snow lay dinted

F                   C 
Which the saint had printed

                     Am              
Therefore, Christian men, be sure

F                 C 
Wealth or rank possessing

       Am       F         G            
Ye who now will bless the poor

C                     F      C
Shall yourselves find ble-es-sing
